1 cup cake flour
1 cup bread flour
½ tsp. baking soda
¾ tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. coarse salt (less if your peanut butter is salted)
1 ¼ sticks (10 Tbsp.) unsalted margarine (or butter)
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. natural vanilla extract
¾ cup peanut butter (I used Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter)
1/3 cup Nutella
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream margarine and sugars together until very light, about 3-5 minutes (but do not overmix). Add egg, vanilla and peanut butter, stirring well. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the Nutella and mix it in only a few second with the stand mixer, or use a spoon – you want streaks of chocolate, not homogenous dough. Shape into cookies (I made 2 sheets of 12 cookies each; store unused dough in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, and let it come to room temperature a bit before shaping). Bake for 10 minutes.
The other recipe I had was from Tasty Kitchen. I modified it by omitting the sugar altogether. I have a major sweet tooth, so if I can’t justify adding sugar to Nutella, trust me that it would be way too sweet! Even now, they were practically too sweet for my taste. These were the Engineer’s favorites, though, so we’re definitely keeping the recipe. They were so quick to make, too, that the dough was ready before the oven was done preheating. This recipe also makes about two dozen.
1 cup Nutella
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
Mix all the ingredients together well. Form into 1-inch balls. Place on the cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass (I shaped them with my hands). Bake 7-8 minutes or until set.
If you are looking for another recipe to finish that jar of Nutella, how about some Nutella bread puddings?
